Some interesting facts:

We were all strangely fascinated by the recent book titled Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon co-written by two Flagstaff authors.  It’s for sale in all the gift shops around here.  The book chronicles the “Gripping accounts of all known fatal mishaps in the most famous of the World’s Seven Natural Wonders”.  Yeah, all 683 of them since the early 1860’s.  The most common cause is actually aircraft, mostly scenic, which accounts for 379 victims.

Even so, we kept well away from the edge… it’s a long way down.
